TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I probably should have been more clear. I work
for the University of Georgia. My job title is
actually Computer Lab and Resource Manager. The
Resource part makes me responsible for all of the
documentation that comes from our lab (mainly the
documentation has to do with training). My
department cannot see a justification for buying
me professional tools for documentation as (in
their opinion) MS Word works just fine. What I
have been unable to convey to them is that Word
(while its a great tool for what it is) henders
more than it helps. I can and will continue using
Word to create these things, but I thought if
there were anyway for me to get my hands on a
tool that would make the job easier...

beleive in me.' Interesting point after all he was the walrus.
I could be the Walrus...I'd still have to bum rides off people
